About This Podcast
As a rabbi, I try to provide spiritual and emotional comfort to the dying and the bereaved. Preparing eulogies is an especially meaningful aspect of my work; I am telling the story of a life. On Unveiling Death, I talk to those with personal stories and professional insights into death and mourning, including clergy, hospice professionals, obituary writers, funeral directors, the bereaved, and others. Unveiling Death: Eternity in About 24 Minutes.
